China's education system has always been a pressure cooker, and many families put great pressure on their children to be admitted to prestigious schools. However, more and more people are beginning to think: Is this really good for children? This paper will discuss the negative effects of high-pressure education and the importance of interest and autonomy in children's education.

Negative effects of high-pressure education

High-pressure education makes children's learning boring and loses the fun of exploring knowledge. In the long run, children may gradually lose interest in learning, just to cope, not out of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. In addition, high-pressure education can also lead to mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, inferiority and so on.

The importance of interest and autonomy

Children's education is not only the pursuit of high scores and prestigious schools, but more importantly, all-round development and hobbies. Only when children can give consideration to their studies and interests can their lives be more colorful. Therefore, only by giving children some free space and autonomy, and giving them opportunities to pursue their dreams and interests, can they maintain their motivation to learn and achieve better results.

Restrict creativity

High-pressure education may limit children's creativity. It is important to recite knowledge, but children also need to have the space to think freely. Only in this way can we cultivate more innovative thinking and problem-solving ability.
